I wanted to work on learning the ins and out of Smart Boards- finally! And is there a chance to be using WIMBA and uses in language class??? I also want to update the SP300 syllabus on Blackboard for the new third year book. I would also like to explore the possibility of putting parts of the Spanish proficiency test on an online format…. This may be too much for the week, but we will see!

Learn the capabilities of Blackboard and Web 2.0 tools. Determine the best method of delivering course materials to students for the teaching of history. Make the necessary adjustments to replace current course web sites.
I'd like to create diagnostic assessments for grammar and usage, and perhaps enhance my course web pages. I'd like to embed audio that can be turned on and off into my Journeys and Quests webiste and learn to embed videos in blackboard pages.
Sam Doak
I have files of digital resources from a previous school that need to be reorganized to match up with the World History syllabus. I'd like to investigate options for online map assessments and consider other forms of individualized assessment on Blackboard. I would like to port my course content for Economics into Blackboard as well. Finallt, I'd like to convert some short video clips to streaming media files.
James Elsworth
Learn more about the capabilities of Blackboard, and how it might enhance my course materials. Spend some time exploring online assessments.
Tom Foster
I’d like to learn about video capturing. There are a number of VHS tapes that I use in my various classes that are starting to deteriorate and are not easily replaced. I’d like to spend the 40 hours of TLI capturing them, editing them and then putting on a server so I (and anyone else in the dept. who wishes) can have access to them.
Tracy Ginder-Delventhal
I would like to update my syllabi. Make it more interactive. Use links to film clips, etc. to more fully illustrate what we are working on. Would also like to learn Blackboard and make more use of it in my classes.
Jane Gustin
Learn to create video slide shows of materials that will illustrate and exemplify student work in the Visual Arts. Enhance Blackboard courses.

Enhance Blackboard courses, particularly English 200, using Respondus to create grammar materials for self-assessment and unit assessment. Convert English 200 Proficiency test to online format. Create Screencasts for grammar and usage lessons.
Caleb McArthur
Lisa expressed a need for pools of practice problems and test problems for the algebra proficiency test. I would like to use my test generator software to produce a large pool of practice problems and a large pool of test problems. These problems would be in multiple choice format, just like the proficiency test. I can export these problem pools to BlackBoard, where future teachers can use them to generate review sheets and different versions of the actual test. I would create a simple set of instructions on how to do this. I would also create a simple set of instructions on how to edit or add to the original pools of problems.

I can make master courses on Blackboard for next year, or maybe being able to do some kind of exercises website where students can go and practice. I know there are a lot of them but I think it would be a good idea if we had our own. It could have exercises to write, to listen and to speak.
